OneDrive is a cloud-based storage service where you can view, browse, upload, and share the files you saved online to OneDrive.com. When you save files to OneDrive, the files are automatically available to access or share from any device, even if something happens to your PC.

You can share files on OneDrive cloud by signing in to onedrive.live.com and right clicking a file and'Share' to get a link to send someone. Enjoy your new found 'toy'.
